You have it backwards. I thought they were so cool, we needed more of them!

Rattan Wasters A Rattan Sword that looks like a sword instead of a round stick! Made from our own Oversized Rattan, the 15A rattan sword blank made by Foxknife Armory features the improved appearance and handling found in hardwood wasters used by other historical organizations but is SCA legal.

Yes we will do those for you.

Westland, I pinged you about a local group order via email. Just making sure you got the email.

Thanks!

Gonna try and break outta the booth for a couple.

Baron Eirik

I'm interested in getting a pair of viking shoes as well.

Not seeing a problem here

Bunny fur and leather bikinis are always an option

Baron Eirik

If you don't mind, how much were they?

Baron Eirik

No strapping tape is needed, just duct tape to cover the black plastic & mark an edge. The pipe can be shaved or sanded to oval a grip, too.

Rattan-Cored PE Tube (Siloflex Equivalent) $30

Sadly, no. I only have a certain amount of vacation time a year at the real job. Pennsic (2 wks) and Gulf Wars(1 wk) take the majority of it.

Baron Eirik

With the help of my suppliers, I'm dropping the price on full length rattan poles, effective immediately.

Regular rattan (high quality Manau, and quite straight) is now $15 each.

Premium Rattan, the straightest on the market, is $20 each.

Duke Baldar had some at Gulf Wars. sales@houseasgard.com

Baron Eirik

Well that is pretty cool. Do you happen to know if they are legal in AnTir? I was just told last night that the rawhide wrapped stick I wanted to make are no longer allowed. -Matthew- Oh and thank you for taking the time to answer my question. They are legal at the SCA level and all kingdoms that I...

1 inch i.d., 160 psi siloflex* pipe, with a 1 inch rattan core is approved for single handed weapons and has been for quite a while. They wind up slightly lighter, on average, than 1.25" rattan swords, and tend to be more durable. There is a different 'feel' when they hit, so their use is a mat...

Baron Eirik

Just for clarity, on the flat-edged blanks I sell, and the tapered ones I hope to have soon, I do recommend that the owner take some sandpaper or whatever and soften any 'sharp' corners. I don't have that done on my end because I want the owner to be able to do any finish shaping they want to make i...

Yah, happiness was when I had a deal with Master Geoffrey of Meridies to have his shop boys do the assembly. I much prefer to let someone else swing the 4 lb. hand sledge. We'd meet up at a couple events a year, I'd drop off a bunch of pipe and rattan, his guys would pound wood into pipe, he'd keep ...

Baron Eirik

I have the components for sale on my web site. I keep trying to make the time to bang some together.

Not currently. But I've talked about it with the guy doing the planing.

Thanks!

Gonna be down at Border Raids this weekend.

I've known a few too many guys missing fingers & parts of fingers. Usually from rushing or fatigue.

It's actually extremely medieval, too. But we really don't need that level of authenticity.

Baron Eirik

Dammit, woman! Seriously! Slow down, don't rush, especially with tools that are sharp, powered or both. Working while fatigued will cause more injuries like that one, or worse. My best friend lost parts of three fingers to a table sw rushing a project at 3 am. Just don't effing do it! Your customer ...

About $14. Both UPS and USPS seem prejudiced against long, skinny packages.

Yep. I'll be there for the Saturday only.

Oops. I forgot to post about those!

Yes.

48 Inch Flat-Sided Rattan Sword Blank

Looks like shipping to you would be a tad over $7.

are these still available?

Well, the introductory price isn't available any more (once I actually did the math I had to take the price up, sorry), but I have some in stock.

Baron Eirik

Eirik, Are you planning on offering flat sided rattan blanks that are 1.5" front edge to back edge and 1.25" left flat to right flat? Pretty much the flat sided ones you offer now but in a 1.5" model rather than 2". Adam Some of them are about that size, yes. I try to use a vari...

Baron Eirik

The closest I get to you is Warriors & Warlords in western Wisconsin. But if you ever get to Pennsic, I've got a booth there.

Showing that I fail at Canadian geography

Although it costs almost as much to ship to Washington State as it does to you.

Got pics?

I'd love to see some of the toys being made from these!

Baron Eirik

I've shipped like that a couple times. Although shipping to the west coast of the US isn't a whole lot less expensive at times. Seems like if it crosses the Rockies, both UPS and USPS jack it up another 30-40%.

I just started stocking the 1.5" shaved right before Aethelmarc War Practice. Oops. I thought I'd put it up online, too. I will do that now. What? i remember buying them from you years ago.? 1.25" (which sometimes comes in a tad on the fat side), but I've only ordered 32-34mm and 24-26mm ...
